  • Such a hold-down device already considerably simplifies the assembly and also realizes the necessary contact pressure for the board on the counterpart for the improved or required cooling performance.
  • the invention deals with the technical problem (task) of at least partially avoiding the disadvantages mentioned at the beginning and in particular expanding the functionality of the hold-down device so that it can be integrated into modern lighting concepts.
  • this object is essentially already achieved in a hold-down device of the type mentioned at the outset in that it has additional fixing means for fixing further components, which can be actuated without changing the contact pressure.
  • the hold-down thus no longer only fulfills the pressing or holding-down function for the circuit board, but can also take on other functions in the lamp due to the fixing means, which leads to a reduction in the Required installation space and a reduction in components goes hand in hand, in particular fixing functions. Furthermore, the components can be attached and detached again completely independently of the hold-down device, so the hold-down surface does not have to be detached.
  • the concept according to the invention is particularly flexible and is particularly suitable for modern filigree lights with reduced installation space, in particular low installation height.
  • the fixing means are preferably adapted to the respective installation situation and / or the clamping component to be fixed in order to ensure simple and component-optimized assembly or dismantling of individual clamping components while at the same time optimizing the installation space.
  • the fixing means preferably comprise fixing elements for fixing different clamping components, in particular optics.
  • the fixing elements preferably comprise fixing elements for fixing different clamping components, in particular optics.
  • the direction of the pressing force for fastening the clamping components is different from the main pressing direction of the hold-down surface for pressing the underlying plate. Clamping force directions transverse to the main pressing direction have proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • the fixing elements can, for. B. primary fixing elements on a first side of the hold-down device for fixing a first component, e.g. B. a primary clamping surface for attaching a primary lens, and secondary fixing elements on a second side of the hold-down device, for. B. a secondary clamping surface, for fixing a second component, e.g. B. a secondary optics include.
  • the primary fixing element is preferably provided on the inner longitudinal edge in the installed position and the secondary fixing element is provided on the outer edge arranged in the installed position.

  • Particularly simple assemblies and / or maintenance can be implemented through the design as tool-free snap-in connections.
  • a particularly precise assembly is achieved by arranging the fixing means on the long sides of an elongated hold-down device, because when the hold-down devices are transported, aligned one behind the other, coaxially in the longitudinal direction in an automated transport system, they have no influence on the adjacent hold-down devices and thus on the tolerances or tolerance chains.
  • the hold-down devices are always in direct contact with one another without any elastic play of the fixing means.
  • This configuration negative effects for the tolerance chains are largely eliminated by the hold-down devices themselves.
  • This training is particularly advantageous for automated production, because the hold-down devices are always located at precisely defined points in the context of automated assembly and are therefore located by a wiring robot not be damaged.

B. by engaging behind undercuts by a corresponding locking means acting on these undercuts, on the respective other component, wherein the attachment can be done without tools or with the use of tools.
  • These positioning means for the correct arrangement of the hold-down device in the installation position also serve as a means of identifying the position when transporting the hold-down device in an automated transport system, e.g. B. during transport in a vibrator.
  • the automated transport system can e.g. B. comprise a stop against which the hold-down device runs up against a misaligned position and is sorted out. This allows the alignment in a first main direction, e.g. B. the correct alignment in the horizontal can be ensured. Then the correct alignment of the hold-down device in the other main position, e.g. B. the vertical or right / left can be guaranteed.
  • correspondingly designed or acting position fixing means can also be formed between the hold-down device and the clamping component, eg. B. in the form of mutually engaging or interlocking positioning ribs in the installation position, the geometric design of which is space-optimized adapted to the respective installation situation in order to ensure a precise and permanent positional fixation of the components in relation to each other.

  • the hold-down device can, for. B. include centering pins, which penetrate the clamping component designed as an LED board and connect this with the device carrier or the lamp housing in a precisely positioned manner.
  • the hold-down device is preferably designed as a linear element, which has a greater length than its width and thus also realizes a surface pressure along its length.

  • the required forces can only be achieved by choosing suitable plastics for the manufacture of the hold-down device, e.g. B. by using fiber-reinforced plastics, whereby a 2-K process can also be used to form the areas with different spring properties and / or different strengths on the hold-down device.

  • the optical cover 13 To bring the optical cover 13 into engagement with the hold-down devices 2 'arranged in the longitudinal direction of both side legs and spaced apart, the optical cover 13 is first brought into engagement on one side leg with the associated outer latching lugs 2J, 2K and 2P of the assigned hold-down devices over the entire length of one side, for this purpose, the other side leg of the optics is pivoted out of its later installation position. Thereafter, the optical cover 13, or its free side leg, is pivoted down around the attached longitudinal side, this side leg, which has not yet been engaged, is bent slightly outward due to the elasticity of the material until the second side leg is also in its vertical end position. The outward force applied to the second leg can then be canceled.
  • the cover can also be moved vertically downwards, aligned horizontally with respect to the LED circuit board, whereby both side legs are resiliently pressed outwards by the support on the hold-downs, whereby the outer locking lugs 2J, 2K and 2P the hold-down device 2 'come to lie in the undercut and both side legs of the cover 13 snap back again.
  • the optics can also be configured in one or more parts.
